TRANSLATION

Then, rising very gradually and wiping his two eyes, Lord
Brahma looked up at Mukunda. Lord Brahmi, his head bent low,
his mind concentrated and his body trembling, very humbly
began, with faltering words, to offer praises to Lord Krsna.

PURPORT

Brahma, being very joyful, began to shed tears, and he washed the
lotus feet of Krsna with his tears. Repeatedly he fell and rose as he
recalled the wonderful activities of the Lord. After repeating obeisances
for a long time, Brahma stood up and smeared his hands over his eyes.
Srila Viévanatha Cakravarti Thakura comments that the word locane in-
dicates that with his two hands he wiped the two eyes on each of his four
faces. Seeing the Lord before him, Brahma began to offer prayers with
great humility, respect and attention.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Tenth Canto, Thirteenth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “The Stealing of the Boys
and Calves by Brahma.”
